A source close to the situation says Gov. Nikki Haley is formulating a plan with State House leaders to remove the Confederate flag from the State House grounds.
Details are limited, but Haley is holding a news conference on Monday at 4 p.m., according to a release from the governor’s office.
The governor’s office stopped short of saying the reasons for the news conference.
South Carolina House Speaker Jay Lucas has already called for “swift resolution” on the Confederate flag issue.
Meanwhile, the governor has returned from Charleston after visiting the site of the shooting that killed nine people last week.
The governor is facing calls from South Carolina citizens who want the Confederate Flag removed from the State House grounds following the shooting due to suspect Dylann Roof’s racial beliefs.
